Yes but not safely, unless it was surgically removed first. While there are any number of medical techniques for opening the cervix, yes some involving balloons or other inflatables, I don't believe any medical use has been found for inflating the womb.


Does Water pressure increases as depth increases?

Yes, the deeper you are (be it in air, water or any medium) increases as you go deeper, as there is a column of mass pressing down on you, toward the centre of gravity for the earth. The pressure at sea level (average) is 1 bar, which is 100,000 kilopascals! (so, and inflated tire will have a pressure relative to that of 60 or so pascals. Tiny, eh?)


What happened on the beagle 2 mission?

Remains of the Beagle 2 lander were later spotted inside the crater where it was to land. It seems to have landed at a bad angle and the resulting forces destroyed the probe. Remains of what appear to be the inflated balloons that protect it during landing as well as scattered debris were spotted.
